Graduate Programs in Electrical Engineering
Explore 500+ Electrical Engineering graduate programs at 150+ universities across 17 countries.
Overview
Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electronics and electromagnetism and the systems built on them. Graduate students specialize in areas such as circuits and chip design, signal processing, communications, power and energy systems, control, or photonics.
A master's deepens technical expertise, with a thesis option for those heading toward research. A PhD trains researchers who develop new devices and technologies in universities, industrial labs and government research centers.
Electrical engineering is one of the most sought-after fields among applicants, according to our data. Graduates become chip designers, hardware engineers, signal processing engineers, power systems engineers and embedded systems developers. Semiconductor manufacturing, electric vehicles, renewable energy and the power grid are areas of strong hiring.
Most Electrical Engineering programs charge between $18,000 and $62,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $15,000 and $66,000.
